MARK BURKE UPDATE

Mark did not tolerate the FOLFOX treatment at all. We decided to put him on a
trial. We were waiting to get approved when Mark suddenly fell ill. He seemed
all of a sudden to be sleeping a lot. I took him to the ER and he never left
the hospital. He went into kidney failure. Mark passed 3 days later on
Christmas morning 2007.He was 50 years old. He never suffered from the final
stages of cancer. He basically passed from kidney failure. Mark passed
peacefully and without pain. For that I am gratful. It was a long hard battle
but we never gave up and we never stopped 'living'Rest in peace my love.
